No alcohol is very strictly enforced. You will not be allowed to bring it in with you

If you sit in your section, you’ll probably get free BYU creamery ice cream.

But it is true they aren't the best seats.

BYU fans are known to be very welcoming.

If you’re staying in SLC I’d opt for the Grand America, Hotel Monaco, or the downtown Marriott.

RalphWiggam

You can also take the bus to center street from the stadium

Magathis

Little America across from Grand is good too if you stay in the tower.

The "visitors center" has temporarily moved into The Conference Center.
